Appeals Court Reverses City Liability in Mount Dora Case
The Florida Court of Appeals in Lakeland threw out a $220,600 damages verdict against Mount Dora in a fatal crash case. The ruling orders a new jury trial in Tavares to determine liability after finding Circuit Judge Truman B. Futch overstepped authority. The suit stems from a Mount Dora patrol chase that ended in a head on collision killing Ellen Meyers and her husband James S. Bryant near Sorrento.
